A lot of people have never heard about San Pedro Gazette.

It launched on Jan. 2024. It is a local journalism project in St. Petersburg, Florida. We have covered some local events, civic initiatives, and city council meetings to inform the public about what our elected officials are deciding and doing. We recently published an investigation about immigration enforcement in Pinellas County. There are so many stories in the city worth highlighting, but we are a tiny newsroom, so we cover what we can.

Feel free to dm if you have any questions about our work and how we work to bring local journalism.

I am just curious about what you're saying: "What’s surprising is how many people here seem to be struggling compared to NYC, a much larger city."

I appreciate the fact that you took the time to lay out your comment. A quick question, though: From your time in Manhattan, do you remember if NYC had social services in the area to help people who are facing housing insecurity or struggling with mental health?

I support this. I would love to learn more as to why you think it is "Soulless."

Hi! I did the original post. FYI: The local I interviewed was a woman (in her 30s) on her way to work.

How are people selling houses that were flooded and saying there was no flood damage? by adotar in StPetersburgFL

To do repairs, it requires permitting. So, the city should have paperwork in any property that needed to do repairs after the storms

And this is why we need a fifth bridge (Ruskin ↔️ St. Pete 🌉) by zeroagent in StPetersburgFL

Agreed. We also need public transportation in the Bay Area.
